Hello, I'm new on this list and currently researching my HODGES families from Devon and Sussex Counties, England. I haven't had any luck so far trying to find any one else researching these lines in England. I see that there is a Hodges reunion in Ohio this weekend, so I can only hope that someone out there might take this with them to see if anyone has this connection? My descendants are: EDWARD HODGES born abt. l752 in Stoke Damerel Devon England\ married lO-8-l781 in Heavitree-Exeter Parish Devon to: ELIZABETH HARFORD born about l755 in Heavitree Parish Devon Their son: WILLIAM HODGES born: 8-25-l785 in Stoke Damerel Devon the l851 Census, which he states he was born in Rackenfield Devon, but I couldn't locate his bapt. there, but found the record in Stoke Damerel Parish. He married: 4-12-l807 in St. George's Parish Hanover Square London to HANNAH CARPENTER born: 1-2-l780 in Milverton, Somerset England. One of their children: ELIZABETH HODGES born: l808 in London married: 4-8-l833 in St. Nicholas Parish Church Brighton, Sussex to my great great great grandfather: ROBERT SUTER of Walberton Sussex. They made their home in the area of Patching and Amberly West Sussex.
